Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all, new to the forum, hope this is the right place to post! My sons salomon x wing fury 140 skis have lost the black plastic toe cap front the front of the ski. I tried phoning salomon who were completely unhelpful! Google showed up nothing. I am stuck. Anyone any ideas. I just don't want him skiing around with bare metal at the toe of his ski!...a bit dangerous. Thanks

Ski Bartlett have some great general purpose ones they can fit for you, in fact I am sure most decent ski shops will have them.
There is no increased danger. Skis are dangerous full stop. Personally I think the tips are the least dangerous area to the person using them. Even if you hit someone with a ski the injury would probably be very similar with or without caps.
Its the side edges that are dangerous google 'ski-ing knee cut open by edge' if you have the stomach. Basically its a bit like a sword, skis are quite blunt and don't do stabbing, but a cut using the full length that will do some damage.
The caps are there to protect the ski from wear and tear and are mainly designed for cap construction skis that sometimes frey in that location (lift queues etc) and will prolong the life of the ski, and not necessarily the skier
